Hasten, Ye Faithful

Hasten

ye faith­ful

joy­ful

glad

and ho­ly

O speed ye to Beth­le­hem to hon­or the Word;

There is the King of an­gels

born so low­ly—

Oh

come and kneel be­fore Him;

Oh

come and all adore Him;

Oh come

oh come

re­joic­ing to hon­or the Lord.

God of the God­head

true Light una­bat­ed

See

Ma­ry the vir­gin has borne the Ad­ored;

True God eter­nal

born yet un­cre­at­ed—

Sing

all ye an­gels

ech­oes loud re­bound­ing

Now swell through your halls

to for­ev­er be heard;

Glory to God

thro’ Heav­en far re­sound­ing—

Praise to the In­fant

who this day de­scend­ed;

All glo­ry to Thee

bless­èd Je­sus ad­ored;

Word with two na­tures

join­ing

yet un­blend­ed—
